Find the value of x and BC if B is between C and D CB=4x-9 BD=3x+5 and CD= 17

A political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 30%, so then that represent our claim and needs to be on the alternative hypothesis.

Based on this the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.3$

Alternative hypothesis $p >0.3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given from the problem:

$n= 800$ the random sample of voters selected from the town

$\hat p = 0.34$ represent the proportion of residents favored construction

$p_o = 0.30$ represent the value desired to test.

A political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 30%, so then that represent our claim and needs to be on the alternative hypothesis.

Based on this the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.3$

Alternative hypothesis $p >0.3$

And in order to test this hypothesis we can use a one sample z test for a population proportion and the statistic would be given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

And with the data given we have:

$z=\frac{0.34 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{800}}}=2.469$

The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. If a rectangle has a perimeter of 68 inches and the length

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Width = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the perimeter of a rectangle of 68 inches, and a length that is 14 inches longer than its width.

We can establish the following values to help us solve for the width of a rectangle:

Perimeter (P) = 68 inches

Length (L) = 14 + W inches

Width (W) = unknown

<h3 /><h3><u>Solve for the Width (W)</u></h3>

P = 2(L + W) ⇒ This is the same as P = 2L + 2W, except that 2 is factored out from the right-hand side.

Divide both sides by 2:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=\:\frac{2(L\:+\:W)}{2}}$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=L\:+\:W}$

Substitute the value of the Perimeter and the length (L) into the formula:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{68}{2}\:=14\:+W\:+\:W}$

Combine like terms on the right-hand side, and simplify the left-hand side of the equation:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{34\:=14\:+2W}$

Subtract 14 from both sides:

34 - 14 = 14 - 14 + 2W

20 = 2W

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the width (W):

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{20}{2}\:=\:\frac{2W}{2}}$

W = 10 inches

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 10 inches.

<h3 /><h3><u>Double-check:</u></h3>

Verify whether the derived value for the width is correct:

P = 2L + 2W

68 = 2(14 + 10) + 2(10)

68 = 2(34) + 20

68 = 48 + 20

68 = 68 (True statement).

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 34 inches, and the width is 10 inches.

I need an answer please! The question says Find the value of x that would make the following expression equivalent to sixteen ti

aev [14]

Square root of 6 times 16 will give us 39.19

The square root of 48 times 32 [which gives us 1536] is also equal to 39.19

The square root of 1536 is equal to 39.19

Hence, x is equal to 32

Hope this helped! :D
